Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening all the way through the song withot interruption before replaying it and analyzing it. Your reaction is all the better for that analysis following the first, complete listening and watch through. Bravo!!!
I am crying AGAIN. This was the best reaction to this song because as an opera singer YOU LISTENED and didn't keep stopping to dissect and talk over it. You appreciated the voice and the music. Your left the analysis until after you had appreciated the whole of the song. THANK YOU.🤗
I have seen near 100 reaction videos to this song. Yours is THE BEST for me. I love that we saw your uninterruted reaction first. I appreciate your comments! I agree 100% with your comments too. It was a joy share this song experience with you. THANK-YOU!
Simon & Garfunkel's version touches the brain and makes you think. Pentatonix's version touches the heart and gives you hope. Disturbed's version punches you right in the gut.
Check out the live version on Conan. In an interview he said that he was sick and had a fever that day and the show’s producers wanted to cancel and reschedule but David refused and they put a stool on stage for him to sit on. And still he gave an outstanding performance. Also, they are a heavy metal band that began in the mid 1990’s. Lead singer David Draiman is a classically trained Cantor.
Getting to see the live performance is so amazing. I was disappointed, when I saw them in West Palm, that it was an outdoor venue because i felt robbed of the acoustics the Conan audience had lol. Otherwise, the West Palm show was incredible
@@justaguy1109and he was angry about it! He did give an excellent interview with Elizabeth from The Charismatic Voice and explained what was going on with his health at that time. It was a great interview!
As a former Heavy Metal vocalist, I rarely get GOT by a singer or song. I love all music and certain performances. But I absolutely get crushed by Davids singing on this. He covers every nuance of the male voice. From child to God levels. I loved your reaction to this.🤘🔥🤘🤠🙌
If this song doesn’t make the hair on the back of your neck stand up I question whether you have a soul. Absolutely amazing rendition of a beautiful song.
I just 'shared' this song with my older friend who grew up with the original...she said that she didn't care for it😒🙄 I finally understand the meaning of this classic song because of his voice and the video...this cover will always bring tears to my eyes... Amazing job David and the production team! Didn't Paul Simon give a thumbs up?❤
@@sarahwest7426 i allso grew up with simon and garfunkel. like your friend said. even i did not care,and never heard the message in it. But David woke me up.to me? best cover ever. thank you david
I have listened to so many reactions to this version, which I truly love, but yours is the first reaction that made me know you were experiencing the same feeling as I. I cannot hear Disturbed’s version without being moved to tears. Thank you for an excellent reaction to this incredible piece.❤❤❤
Seeing your reaction to this song, I think I will stop being ashamed of my own reactions... That's how I react every time I listen to this brilliant performance. Thank you :-)
If the number of views counted repeats, it would probably be 5, 10, 15 billion. Can't listen just once. Four or five times, then months go by, then for some other reason, four or five times again is how it goes for me.
I've been a fan of Disturbed for many years now. When this came out, it felt like they gave me the most unexpected gift: not only did they bring attention back to a classic that felt like it had been lost in the memes and one phrase jokes, but they gave this song the true power it had been missing all these years.
i dont listen to music, i live it. its alive, its an entity to teach us, to allow us to grow and evolve. i need music more then anything else. hats off to David for this stunning example of perfection.
I have watched over 100 different reaction videos of this version of Sound of Silence ( my favorite song) by Disturbed and you are the first person to actually understand the words and context of this song. Your response was very heartfelt and therapeutic. I applaud you and your heart. God Bless
You sir listen like I do with your whole body and mind. I can’t sit still through this. If I look at someone having feelings be I want to shake them. 😅
100% agree this was an amazing reaction I love it. Brad if you haven't seen it the charismatic voice has a great reaction as well. Started a full exploration of metal for her!
Your appreciation for this performance brought me so much happiness. You geek out on it (and I mean that in the best way possible!) like I do. I loved how you watched it through (with utter enthusiasm and joy), and then went through it again to break down the technical and stylistic points. A total gem of a reaction video!
"...professional opera singer and beatboxer..." what 😄 Now thats a combo lol. I saw many reactions, this version never gets old, but your reaction is one of the best, if not THE best. Pure emotions and passion, it was a joy to watch.
I feel you deserve an Honorary Therapy Doctorate from Life. As someone going through TBI recovery, your reactions and deep, therapeutic analysis of Disturbed’s Sound of Silence resonated on a level I didn’t expect. You managed to put words to my experience-capturing the relentless strength it takes to keep going, to advocate for myself, even when every day feels like a battle. Your insight illuminated how, despite being worn down, that small flicker of light within can still guide us forward. Thank you for bringing such raw honesty and depth to this piece. It was a powerful reminder of resilience. With gratitude , Lori L.
Thank you for actually doing a reaction first, and a discussion after. So many do this during song, with to many stops. This was way more fun and enjoyable :)
I've been looking for someone to do this format for music. Just listen uninterrupted once and just FEEL the song. Then comes the analysis, which you hit most of what I've noticed listening to this one well over 100 times at this point. If you want to hear the Disturbed their fans know, Down With the Sickness is required listening. Just remind yourself about Sound of Silence immediately after to appreciate just how incredible of a singer David Draiman is.
Being a child in the 1950's and '60's, Simon and Garfunkel's _Sound of Silence_ produces a visceral reaction in me. The song was so appropriate for the time it was written; and continues to be appropriate. When The Charismatic Voice did a reaction to Disturbed's rendition, I was reluctant to the idea of a metal version of this old favorite. I was surprised to greatly appreciate the Disturbed version. I realized the importance of the Disturbed arrangement to the current time. Thank you for the analysis of this video from your perspective. Your format of reaction to the video in one piece; and then the analysis, breaking down the video piece by piece, is wonderful teaching tool. Thank you!
David Draiman... one of the best male vocalists on the planet imho. Amazing tone...awesome control to his voice. Can sing sweetly (both baritone and tenor) and can sing hard and with distortion! Also he can actually put vibrato on the distortion which is extremely hard to do! Great job reacting sir.
I have watched a few reactions to this song but never watched a reactor ‘feel’ the song like this. Incredible to watch you literally feel the sounds. Love it
I still get chills and i have heard it probably 200 times or more. Its so powerful and the ebb and swell of the music is superb. The classical guitar work brings me to tears. It is so beautiful. They are traditionally a very heavy metal band, but David had classical training in choir (father is a pastor I believe). He sings it so clean and beautifully. Truly portrays the outrage and disappointment that the warning Simon & Garfunkel sang was not listened to, and the problems and disconnect between people might be even worse now.
Both father and grandfather were Jewish Cantors. David trained, even went to Israel for training as a Cantor. That were the haunting, resonating tones comes from.
This reaction is such a perfect proof of the utter power of this performance. Started as analytical, intellectual. In the middle, a little... uncertain? Not sure how to bring your thoughts forward? Intellect fighting emotion for dominance? By the end, the song... and our esteemed analyst.. have only raw, pure emotion. Couldn't help yourself, could you? :) And that's the power of this performance, right there. My sincere thanks for allowing yourself to let the emotions do their work.
That plus the fact that how they filmed David himself. For one he is looking dead straight in to the camera. With the camera so close that for most you do not even see the top of his head. So you really only can stare him back in to his eyes with all the pain, sadness, and anger. Or you can watch his mouth singing to you. there is just no hiding from it. He is singing at you and you alone.
Totally agree 100% My take on the neon god thing is representative of the time we spend on our phones, TV's, movies, anything that actually let's us run away from actually really opening up and speaking with another human being and being honest, open and raw in these conversations without judging or the fear of being judged. In our current society, the keyboard warriors are really making this even worse, they cause people to not trust others and make them believe they aren't safe, that they are alone, thus driving up suicide rates in the world. Thank you for your review! I really enjoyed your explanation!
David said in an interview that he spends about 45 minutes in the booth when recording vocals for a typical Disturbed track. He spent 3 hours in the booth making sure his vocals were perfect for such an important song.
I love finally seeing someone else that reacts so physically to music! It’s like an electricity running through your whole body, or at least it is for me. This is a great version of one of my favorite songs! So glad to finally get a chance to enjoy your reaction. ❤️🎶
My fave band! David is classically trained. He was going to follow his father and grandfather and be Cantor in the jewish church. Then he discover rock and heavy metal. Hes amazing. The things he can do with his voice is amazing!
I love this and have watched it a lot. I had no idea who Disturbed was before this song so imagine my shock when I listened to other songs and realized they were heavy metal. Turns out now I like heavy metal too.
A singer myself with no religious affiliation, I recently had the opportunity to perform a piece that was backed by trained cantors. I found that there's something special and unique in what they can do.
Daniel, I admire your insight to analyzing this song. I love that you know nothing of Disturbed and David Dramain, yet in conveying your analysis of the song, you are describing David's personality and his passion for helping people who are in the darkness of their addiction. Thank you for such a an awesome reaction/analysis ❤
Such a powerful piece. Paul Simon heard this version and posted it on his own website. He loved it. I love the boat full of instruments at the end coming to the people with the lyrics. Thanks again
Your discussion of the song reflecting dark , light, higher self is a reflection of David's life leading to this gift. As many have said, God asked David if he wanted to sound like an angel or devil. David said yes.
Also, be sure to react to their live performance on Conan. NOTE: David Draiman was really sick for the Conan live performance, and I heard he was not pleased with his performance. Being the perfectionist that he is, I can understand why he felt that way. However, the production as a whole performance was amazing, and his was EXCEPTIONAL! I loved it. So POWERFUL and EMOTIONAL! - Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 | CONAN on TBS Team Coco Thanks, Diane ❤😊
Definitely one of the best reactions I´ve seen of this Amazing cover. You must be a Great teacher, if you do vocal coaching, I can feel your passion through the way that you feel the song. Greetings from Argentina and Thank you!!
Wow! How profound are you! This song and your interpretation should be played to all those who are experiencing severe depression (particularly PTSD) . Your words are so encouraging to those in dark places. xx
Thank you for such a personal expression of your feelings for this song, the visual presentation, and that voice. One of the most powerful things I have ever heard. Thank you again.
Yes I have listened to about 5 reactions to this song tonight and yours is the best by far. Loved watching your face and your small quiet comments and the fact that you didn't stop it to talk. I could see you were really enjoying it too. I just sub🤗scribed
Love your comments. Although I have listened to this hundreds of times, I really appreciate all of those who choose to listen to this for the first time It makes the amazing presentation of this even sweeter.
So I saw Disturbed live in February. He does the piece justice without all of the editing! All 4 guys are absolutely talented. Check out their live rendition on Conan! You will be even more impressed!
This was wonderful. Edit: I'm a little drunk, forgive me. But let me elaborate: I loved how you weren't afraid to show us the emotions you were feeling, and I loved that you appreciated the intricacies of what David was doing with his voice to elicit those emotions. It is often difficult to put into words thge things I am feeling, but with this you took some of thevwords out of ny mouth, and I appreciate that.
Thank you for doing a song reaction the correct way. Listen to the song all the way through without interrupting then go back through and break it down. UA-camrs always rob themselves of truly experiencing the peice the way it's intended to be received when they pause it to talk every 5 seconds.
This is by far my favourite reaction video to Disturbed - The Sound of Silence, and I've watched a LOT of them! I love how animated you were when listening to it the first time, especially when David really ramped up the gruffness (is that even a word?)! I never get bored of listening to the song and watching the music video. It's had me in tears so many times. I once read somewhere in a comment that God asked David if he'd like the voice of an angel or a demon, and David said yes please, and it's absolutely spot on!
IMO the video represents the ability of music, through musicians, to spread the message of the people, those that aren't listened to, to the masses in hope of spreading a hope or dream & to those that do have a voice or power to influence change. The original was a warning of disconnecting from each other & the need to connect while this version is a wake up shout in anger that we have not listened to that (now) 60 year old warning & are now more disconnected than we have ever been & becoming even more disconnected while we ironically have the ability to be so much more connected so easily. 60 years old with more meaning today than when it was written.
Ich liebe diese Version des Liedes. Es zieht mich in den Bann und ergreift mich sehr. Du hast es mir mit deiner wundervollen Erklärung noch näher gebracht. Vielen Dank 🙏
I'm not a musician, but I still enjoyed and appreciated your musical analysis of this piece. I also admire how David Draiman takes care of himself. I normally think of rock and metal musicians as hard partiers, especially after a show, but Draiman is known to immediately return to his hotel room in order to rest and help his voice recuperate.
David Draiman was raised as an Orthodox Jew and his amazing voice is due to the fact that not only was he born with it, but he is also a trained Cantor. I've also learned that David Draiman and Disturbed addresses depression, addiction, and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, beloved Heavy Metal bands! Diane ❤❤❤😊
If you only knew the 'style' of Disturbed you would realize the stark change from their usual heavy metal music such as 'Down With The Sickness'! I like your appreciation of both the visuals and as you say "the rawness" that he weights the music. Diving into the emotion of the lyrics and his performance was nice to experience. An artist, as you know, can express that emotion. Nice work.
Your analysis was so moving and gave me so much to think about. There was so much you put into words that I have felt but had no words for. Thank you for that.

Thank you!!!! Thank you for listening an experiencing this an not interrupting.
The Simon & Garfunkel original was the warning, The Disturbed cover is the rage that the warning was ignored.
Yes... absolutely.
Simon & Garfunkel's version touches the brain and makes you think.
Pentatonix's version touches the heart and gives you hope.
Disturbed's version punches you right in the gut.
The original is meant to be heard. This version is meant to be felt!
And Geoff Castellucci's version is sorrow of the result. You may not know who he is, but Daniel does. And fans of Voiceplay.
@@KairiPrime Agree, 3 different version each with their own message.

I beg to differ. He is THE best. Period. End of story.
I love your energy. You feel the music with your whole being like me. That's the way to react!!
I always loved the original but this cover is elemental, raw, powerful and moving. It’s my new favourite version.
Try the Pentatonix version...of this version
I have watched a few reactions to this song but never watched a reactor ‘feel’ the song like this. Incredible to watch you literally feel the sounds. Love it
Wow, what a profound yet so accurate analysis. Thank you!
I still get chills and i have heard it probably 200 times or more. Its so powerful and the ebb and swell of the music is superb. The classical guitar work brings me to tears. It is so beautiful.

You should watch him, singing this incredible song..LIVE ON CONAN! ITS EVEN MORE AMAZING!!

I like the live performance on Conan even more. When Paul Simon heard this he shared it on his own social media pages.
I personally prefer this version above the Conan version. Here he is singing to ''me'' in the Conan version he is singing to the people in the studio.
Best reaction yet😊 Thanks for not stopping it every other second.😊
Love your comments. Although I have listened to this hundreds of times, I really appreciate all of those who choose to listen to this for the first time It makes the amazing presentation of this even sweeter.
Your words about courage and strength gave me chills. ❤
Enjoy opera and enjoyed your breaking it down for us. I have listened to him sing this for hours. A hopeful song.
Your joy to this is captivating. He's an amazing vocalist
Great review! Your analysis and authentic passion for the music was very refreshing and endearing.

one of the rare cases when the cover is better than the original.
Yes. Akin to Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." An unexpected elevation to an already great original.

Yes....I believe even Paul Simon said that it's their song now, they've taken it to another level.
Greatest cover of any song ever, IMHO.
I must agree. Paul Simon said what he had to say, but this is what he *meant*.
Thank you for doing a song reaction the correct way. Listen to the song all the way through without interrupting then go back through and break it down. UA-camrs always rob themselves of truly experiencing the peice the way it's intended to be received when they pause it to talk every 5 seconds.
This is by far my favourite reaction video to Disturbed - The Sound of Silence, and I've watched a LOT of them! I love how animated you were when listening to it the first time, especially when David really ramped up the gruffness (is that even a word?)! I never get bored of listening to the song and watching the music video. It's had me in tears so many times. I once read somewhere in a comment that God asked David if he'd like the voice of an angel or a demon, and David said yes please, and it's absolutely spot on!
Wow! Thank you for reacting so physically! You portrayed what this song does for me, and it was refreshing to watch you enjoy it in the same way!
Very respectful reaction. Thanks.
loved your reaction to this song it is absolutely my favorite reaction.
David Draiman began his musical training as a cantor. He is classically trained.
IMO the video represents the ability of music, through musicians, to spread the message of the people, those that aren't listened to, to the masses in hope of spreading a hope or dream & to those that do have a voice or power to influence change. The original was a warning of disconnecting from each other & the need to connect while this version is a wake up shout in anger that we have not listened to that (now) 60 year old warning & are now more disconnected than we have ever been & becoming even more disconnected while we ironically have the ability to be so much more connected so easily. 60 years old with more meaning today than when it was written.
Ich liebe diese Version des Liedes. Es zieht mich in den Bann und ergreift mich sehr. Du hast es mir mit deiner wundervollen Erklärung noch näher gebracht. Vielen Dank 🙏
Thanks for a great reaction. One of the best and your analysis of the meaning of the lyrics too
This. This is the appropriate reaction to this song.
I love how much you get into the music when you listen. It makes me re-appriciate it all over again. Thanks.
I'm not a musician, but I still enjoyed and appreciated your musical analysis of this piece. I also admire how David Draiman takes care of himself. I normally think of rock and metal musicians as hard partiers, especially after a show, but Draiman is known to immediately return to his hotel room in order to rest and help his voice recuperate.
David Draiman was raised as an Orthodox Jew and his amazing voice is due to the fact that not only was he born with it, but he is also a trained Cantor. I've also learned that David Draiman and Disturbed addresses depression, addiction, and suicide during every concert, performance offering support and understanding. They are one of the most popular, beloved Heavy Metal bands! Diane ❤❤❤😊
Your joy,
Brought me joy.
Thank you
He ROARS, like a LION!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! Lori - Iowa
If you only knew the 'style' of Disturbed you would realize the stark change from their usual heavy metal music such as 'Down With The Sickness'! I like your appreciation of both the visuals and as you say "the rawness" that he weights the music. Diving into the emotion of the lyrics and his performance was nice to experience. An artist, as you know, can express that emotion. Nice work.
Very astute take, bro. I’m glad watched the second half when u replayed. This is next-level, even this many years later🤙🙏💣
I love it. You just had a "Tune-gasm". No shame, bro. Perfectly natural. 😏
And, thanks for NOT pausing 20 times. 🤘
Amazing reaction to an amazing song!!
Your analysis was so moving and gave me so much to think about. There was so much you put into words that I have felt but had no words for. Thank you for that.
Agreed
I found your channel and subscribed to it today. I love ❤that song and that man's voice. I cried.
The original, was "The Warning".... this version is the Anger...for not Heeding the Warning.
I have heard this cover so many times and every time it grabs me ..Hes phenomenal... classically trained as a cantor....Best Cover EVER!!!
Im glad you did this version very dramatic wild bill
